The City: 115: Connie

Connie ducked out the back. She felt half a coward, but part of police-work was being smarter than whatever the problem was, and you couldn’t fight these things. And throwing themselves against it would do no good for Citizens. She just hoped the rest of the force would follow her example. A few did, but not enough. She made it outside, and turned just in time to see the building crackle and warp. It wasn’t the explosion the overload at Midas tower had been, but the results were the same. The space where headquarters used to be ripped apart.
